Be true to who you are, prepare as well as you can but do not be greedy, and learn to recognize when a friend or loved one is lost (to the programming) and cut them loose before they betray you. Begin this process now if you have not already done so.

In closing, do not lose faith that there is something like the God you may have loved. There is. It has no name, no face, and no place because it is everywhere, in everything, and your spirits are parts of its being. What you have been taught is god is a little g god, a pretender, and a deceiver. That doesn't make wrong your concept in the larger sense, which derives from your innermost knowing of truth. You deserve a better God; it is time to connect with the real one...the one you will never see separated from the Creation, never proclaim himself a god, and never, ever, ask you to go to "holy" war, give him tribute, or kneel before him.

Well said, however remember that there is a true Jesus Christ and an image that has been perverted by religious zealots and satan himself over time. You have to be able to see through the web of lies and recognize the true one.
